To Goanet - After I posted about the Panjim jardim festivities I came to know that they were sponsored by the Ashok Beleza mega-project coming up right now across the river form Panjim on the hillside in Reis Magos. It appears prima facie to be illegal. There is another similar huuuge project going on right now in Dona Paula. I have repeatedly asked why these two projects have been allowed to proceed by this administration. No answers have been forthcoming.
Now to Ashok Beliza. Here is the site - http://www.peninsula.co.in/projects/residential/ashokbeleza/ashokbeleza.php And here are the people behind this company - http://www.peninsula.co.in/company/landlimited/comp_mang.php Notice the second guy listed. Mr. Mody is the same chap who is a major force in the casino business in Goa. He is, I am told, the son-in-law of Soli Sarbjee. He was allegedly present at the inauguration ceremony of the BJP govt in March 2012 in Campal. None of the otherwise vociferous Goan hacktivists seem to be interested in questioning this project. This is Aldeia de Goa version 2, and this time the eye sore will be visible from all across Panjim. If you thought that Tata ugliness across in Betim was bad enough wait until this atrocity is up and running. Thus far there has been NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever between this administration and the previous Rane-Digu gang in the matter of curbing the construction frenzy in Goa. r
